Yeah right. In their dreams. There's no way she can get 50% in that district.

I'm spending a few days in the 50th district. Street signs everywhere... Busby, Bilbray, Roach, Ernest, Uke in heavy quantities. Kaloogian is there, but not to the same degree. A smattering of the others can be found. Of more than 1000 signs, I have yet to see a single one for Morrow. What's up with that?

The impact of campaign signs is a hotly debated topic. They have an impact when they are on provate lawns, especially for Propositions. The value of signs posted willy-nilly up and down streets however is marginal at best.

If I had limited funds in a race, I'd spend it on mail.

Busby makes valley girls look smart.

I have seen her interviewed and she should be a secretary not a congresswoman.

In one interview she said she is hoping the gop candidates split their votes so she can get over 50 percent.

What difference does it make if they split their votes? If the gop votes get split up among the gop candidates or go to a few of the candidates it makes no difference in her perentage.

She has to be one of the most unqualified candidates ever running in a suburban well off district. A soccer mom nitwit running for congress.

How is this the right time for her? She is weak on illegals. If this district votes for her it will be used by the illegals loving msm just like kilgore's loss was cited by them.

“A Democrat can't win that seat, but a Republican can lose it.”

Very true. During the 1970's, that happened a lot.

Well, it's possible that strong conservatives won't turn out in high numbers. Their favored candidate, ex-Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian, hurt his credibility when his website showed a neighborhood in Istanbul, Turkey and claimed it was in Baghdad.

Stupid Democrats can get elected even in Republican districts under the right circumstances, because the dimwitted cliches they mouth are what the soccer moms (of both sexes) hear day in, day out from the media and "educated" people, and therefore believe.

This seat is in real danger, but I don't think the solution is to fall back on the moderate Bilbray. In this kind of situation, the Republican can win with any good candidate and lose with any good candidate. It is the campaign and the energy behind that campaign that will count. Kaloogian is the strongest conservative with the best conservative endorsements. Conservatives all over the country should send him money, now.

Kaloogian is endorsed by: Phyllis Schlafly, National Tax Limitation Committee, Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, Dr. James Dobson, Steve Forbes, etc.

They kow the real thing when they see it.

Other endorsers of Kaloogian:

Gun Owners of America, San Diego Minutemen, Ron Prince (the proponent of Prop. 187), Morton Blackwell, Paul Weyrich, several current and former state legislators from the area.

Altogether an impressive array.

"Busby had switched from being a Republican to a Democrat after becoming disgusted by repeated GOP-backed investigations of President Clinton."

Ah, one of THOSE gems. She probably thought "treason" was a yummy-nummy chocolate nougat candy.

Converts from GOP to the Rats are the worst. They were dumber than dog pschitt to begin with, and actually became dumber than they were.

Oh, yes... Well, if this turd got elected to Congress, she'd join her fellow single-digit I.Q. compadre, Carolyn McCarthy of Lon Guyland, New Yawk, another RINO-turned-'Rat.

Of course, no glowing MSM profile of Howard Kaloogian. No medias bias here < br>

(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")

Bob Dornan forgot he was a congressman and acted like he was President for about a year or so.

Gave away a safe seat in Orange County to that ditz Sanchez.

She can if no one show up to vote. This is going to be a low turnout election.
